mimosa A5 gear, thoughts?

Sat Oct 18, 2014 3:20 pm

What do you think of Mimosa's recently announced A5 gear, 90degree 23dBi and 18dBi OMNI gain units w/ 250+ subs and 450Mbps aggregate?
The C5 client is a 20dBi roughly the size of the nanobridgeM5-22.

GPS sync and beamforming to boot.

I'm intrigued. I know that 'ac radios natural MU-MIMO is doing a lot of the work here, but GPS sync has proven difficult for all but Cambium in 802.11 silicon. The price is right too. $1000 for the OMNI w/ 250 STA capacity?? Compared to ~$250 for a Rocket+13dBi omni worth ~30ish STAs w/ ~60Mbps aggregate. This beats the heck out of my current micro-cell format of 3-4 NanoStationM5 as APs at 16dBi w/ 23dBm output (A5 is up to 30, but I think it's 26 at highest modulation).

They also have their mimosa cloud which is an interesting concept to me. The CPE helps it's AP make more informed decisions on which subchannels to steer to it.

Robert is still sitting at his desk , shaking his head around, staring at a running WISP switch, trying to figure out why it is so quite.
